While
most credit card processing sales organizations are struggling
to understand the relatively simple tasks involved in processing
retail credit card transactions, Credit Card Processing Services
has mastered the skills required to provide quality service
to what is considered by many in the industry to be the most
difficult to understand segment – Lodging.

As
a hotel owner, general manager, or controller you are aware
that smooth credit card processing is probably one of the most
important aspects of your business – 24 hours a day. That
is why we will place your account on the best networks in the
United States for processing lodging transactions – Vital
(TSYS/Visanet). This reliable network maintains the highest
level of uptime in the industry and provides world class customer
service 24 hours a day.

We know
that it is very important for you to have access to information
about your guests’ transaction history so Credit Card
Processing Services can setup all of our lodging merchants with
MyNPCData, the most powerful real-time online reporting tool
that is fully supported on a toll-free number. This is in addition
to the regular easy to read and understand monthly statement
you will receive in the mail.

Processing
Equipment

If you have
a small property chances are that you will require a standalone
terminal. For this we recommend the Hypercom
T7Plus with a lodging program. As per the rules of MasterCard
and Visa your terminal will prompt for the required information
for you to qualify for the lowest interchange categories including
check in date, number of days stay, daily room rate, etc.

If your
hotel currently has or you are planning to install a Property
Management System (PMS) at the front desk, then let Credit Card
Processing Services assist you in the integration of credit
cards. We can integrate with almost all of the most popular
systems. Your main contact, Kevin Aniess, who has personally
traveled the United States installing major hotels will work
closely with your front desk technical coordinator to insure
a smooth initial setup or transition from your existing processor.
This will include setting up your merchant account and then
providing your technical contact with the completed VAR (Value
Added Reseller) form for them to complete their task. We assure
you that this conversion will be seamless.

Here is
a partial list of lodging software and systems supported by
the credit card networks that we represent:

We
provide you with two options on the rates that you will pay for
the merchant account service – either the tiered program
